Well, I do have a laundry room. Most homes do have a dedicated laundry _area_. Wherever the dang washer is doesn’t matter. Most people have a place other than the baby’s crib or highchair to put a box washing detergent. Has not one thing to do with a kid getting into danger of any kind. You’re a snippy, fault finding bore. About anything. Go read a stack of comics, your attitude needs adjustments. What a lame thing to try to jump on me about. Can’t find anything else today? Go ahead, get your nasty string of filthy names lined up to call me. I care not. Will not read it. You can’t hurt me anymore. ---

My experience is that Beck takes any perceived insult seriously, which is fine although a bit overblown on this message board. The bigger problem is that she often perceives insults where they aren’t intended. > **It takes me a long time to lose my temper, but once lost I could not find it with a dog.** > –Mark Twain ---

What does this have to do with _anything_? Even if it was relevant, it seems to suggest that Beck is some kind of elitist. Am I missing something? People seem to pile on her fairly regularly, but I don’t recall snobbery ever being mentioned. ---

My thoughts exactly. It’s almost like only rich folks have laundry spaces, rooms, alcoves, the garage. They like to pick on me cause I’m friendly, chatty and post alot. I’ll take my hits. Ain’t a baby. But when it’s stupid and just mean for no reason, I just gotta say something. I brought up DrDeth saying how awful Tide was for Tide Pods and posted a very long bunch of crap cites about why, when, where and what for. I slogged thru most of it. It was found to be a passing fad from a TikTok challenge from probably several sources. It cost the company millions, recalling, refitting, repackaging, making warning ads, getting sued, losing revenue. And it wasn’t their fault. IMO. Teens gonna be teens. Little infants and toddlers do not need to be able to access it. We know in this century to baby proof our homes. And many more safety things about toys, children’s furniture, car seats…always there will be accidents and deaths. You just do the best you can do. Putting cleaning supplies away is one of the simplest things you can do. DrDeth posted his rant in the _Commercials you hate_ thread. Big, big hijack. He’s gone on to hijack it again about a commercial for online ED meds. And yet, I can’t have a laundry room in my house. Makes no sense to me. ---

> [@WOOKINPANUBv.2](#): > > People seem to pile on her fairly regularly, but I don’t recall snobbery ever being mentioned. Beck is around about as far as a snob as is possible. She overshares. Some people, including myself, enjoy the random titbits from her life. Some don’t. Dr. Deth, to get back on topic, is just a run-of-mill dickhead. I’d not waste a valuable pit thread on them. ---
